“It was really exciting…I actually got my regular season start here too – it’s kind of a cool building to play in.” said Outhouse who led the league in goals against average and save percentage.

Outhouse also had a shutout in Spokane back on October 24th.

“We needed a different look,” said Lowry on the decision to bring in the rookie netminder after Coleman Vollrath played the first 3.

“We had to find a way to spark our team after last night…He’s played in a lot of big games. The one thing that he does is that he settles in a plays.”

Chiefs ‘tender Lasse Petersen allowed 3 on 26 attempts.

Joe Hicketts missed his third straight game (undisclosed), while veteran defenseman Ryan Gagnon drew back into the line up after serving the final of a 2 game suspension.

“It really settled our team down,” said Lowry on bringing Gagnon back in,“…It’s a big win.”

Spokane opened the scoring for a third straight game, but Victoria twice came back to tie. Forsberg forced overtime scoring just 1:08 after the Chiefs took a 2-1 lead in the middle frame.

It was a scoreless third, and Victoria came out flying in the single overtime period.

“I think it was the urgency that we knew how critical it was to get the win here tonight.” Said Lowry on the jump in the extra frame,

“We needed to find the energy, the step, to make sure we didn’t lose 2 games in a row…and I give Fisher a lot of credit, he got these guys ready to play tonight.”

The Royals were 1 for 6, while the Chiefs went 1 for 2.

Victoria has won 15 straight on home ice.

“We know the fourth one is always the hardest one to win, and (the Chiefs) are going to come in with a purpose to try to bring it back to (Spokane)…and we want to do everything within our control to make sure that doesn’t happen.” Added Lowry.
